SKINS COMPRESSION FOR ROAD RUNNING
Running is a dynamic activity in which, with every footstrike, 3-4x your body weight is absorbed through your joints and muscles. When running, you use four main muscle groups; your calf muscles, quadriceps muscles, glutes, and arms. And there are a few things to be aware of when you hit the road, such as energy loss, sluggish performance, muscle tears, and a lack of thermo-regulation of the muscles. SKINS helps solve these problems.

#1 RULE: RECOVERY IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS PERFORMANCE.
Without recovery, there is no performance. Your muscles get broken down when you run, and if you don't allow yourself to recover properly, you put yourself at risk of injury. Recovery is about applying the correct amount of pressure to passive muscles. This is why the graduated compression levels we apply to the working muscles with our performance garments are different from our recovery garments. These muscles need the correct compression to help the flow of oxygen, which in turn, accelerates repair.
